How To Sell Your Mortgage Note:

You must first search for a reputable real estate investor either online or in a local directory.

Real estate investors, also known as mortgage buyers or note buyers, are

those that pay lump sums of cash to purchase notes such as mortgage

notes, promissory notes, land contracts and trust deeds.

These buyers can offer a "Full Purchase Option" which is for the entire note or a "Partial Purchase Option" which is for a specific amount of payments. However,

keep in mind that no mortgage buyer will pay full price of the note balance. These investors are looking for what's called "safe yield" on a discounted note. On average a mortgage note buyer is looking to pay 30% to 50% less than the note balance.

Looking For A Buyer:

Finding a mortgage note buyer is not that difficult if your looking to sell a mortgage note. However, when searching for a buyer, the following tips may help you in your search:

  • Make sure the buyer, broker or locator is willing to help you all the way through the process from start to finish.
  • Never pay to have a quote. A respectable mortgage buyer should offer you a free quote. Many can do this online and only takes a few minutes to complete.
  • Make sure the mortgage buyer is willing to pay for all or most of the closing costs. Some do this, but many do not.
  • Don't hesitate to negotiate for more money.
  • Find out upfront what fees are required.

If the offer is not as high as you hoped, be willing to ask for more money. Negotiating is common.
